Ask Dr. Diana

How does acupuncture help reduce pain?

Acupuncture reduces pain by influencing the nervous system to decrease pain signaling, improve local circulation, and promote the release of endorphins. Needle stimulation activates both peripheral and central pain-regulating pathways, encouraging the release of endogenous analgesics and reducing pain sensitivity. Over a course of treatments, this can help normalize pain processing and support the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate discomfort.

How do I know if my body needs osteotherapy? What kind of results should I expect?

Most people don’t come to osteotherapy because something suddenly “broke.”
They come because their body has been quietly compensating for a long time.

You may benefit from osteotherapy if:
- You feel tight, heavy, or restricted without a clear injury
- One side of your body always feels different than the other
- You’re functioning… but never fully comfortable
- Stress shows up physically (jaw, breathing, digestion, sleep)
- You’ve tried other therapies and still feel something is unresolved

As osteopaths, we don’t just look at muscles or joints in isolation. We assess how the nervous system, fascia, organs (viscerals), lymphatic flow, and breathing patterns are interacting. Often, what feels like a “neck” or “hip” issue is actually a deeper system imbalance.

What results can you expect?
- A noticeable sense of ease or lightness in the body
-Improved movement and posture without forcing it
-Deeper breathing and better body awareness
-Reduced pain or tension patterns
-Feeling calmer, grounded, or pleasantly tired afterward

Some people notice changes right away; others experience subtle but cumulative shifts over a few sessions. The goal isn’t constant treatment, it’s helping your body self-regulate more efficiently so it doesn’t need to keep compensating.

Ask Dr. Neil Prain

What is the difference between Acupuncture and Dry needling?

The difference between the two modalities/techniques comes down to education, clinical hours of training required, standards of practice and fundamental theory background and focus for the modalities.

Acupuncture when performed by a Registered Acupuncturist incorporates signs and symptoms from the patients whole body, careful observation and analysis
of the tongue and careful palpation and reading of the pulse. This information is then incorporated with signs and symptoms (self reported and observed) to create a pattern in Chinese medicine diagnosis relying on the theory and foundations of Chinese medicine diagnosis. The goal of treatment is to understand the underlying causes for disharmony, pain, tension and disease and use acupuncture points to treat both symptoms (eg. neck tension) and underlying root causes ( eg. stress , postural habits ).

Dry needling is a technique used by physiotherapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, physical therapists and other health practitioners to needle into muscles with the goal of releasing tight muscles and stimulating nerves. To help for relaxation, tension and pain release.

Dry needling is often an additional training for health professionals used as a technique in their therapeutic toolbelt for improved clinical outcomes. Whereas acupuncture is one of the main modalities focused on in Traditional Chinese Medicine with years of study, hundreds to thousands of hours of clinical training required and stringent licensing exams and provincial and national board overview.

Both modalities use filiform needles for their practice, involving both superficial or deep insertion of needles to achieve their respective clinical outcomes.

Education and awareness of both modalities helps the public to know which practices to seek out for their own goals.
